Settlement in Antitrust Lawsuit Over Broadway CastingAfter extensive mediation, Broadway producers and theater owners have come to a settlement with top casting companies. Last December, after some of the theatrical industry's top casting directors looked to unionize in a bid for more health and pension benefits, the Broadway League responded with an antitrust lawsuit over the way that casting companies had banded together in solidarity.
